Also the side pillars often contain airbags which makes them thicker. I do wonder about the trade off between powerful side air backs and poor visibility caused by thick pillars. Do side airbags need to be as powerful/big? 

For Honda, this means interior design is about the people inside the vehicle, leading to interiors free of visual clutter with a focus on thin pillars, a low cowl and a large greenhouse for excellent visibility, enabling the driver and occupants to see the road and the environment around them.

I hear you. We have three kids and an off-the-grid family family 300 miles away at the end of a 10 mile dirt road with a decent creek crossing. We’ve been driving a Chevy Bolt and then a Kia Niro EV for about a year. Charged each off a 120V outlet. With 250+miles of range, each covers all of our daily driving needs.…

But how will we know about imminent threats?

Can you see out of Car B or are the A and B pillars thick?

Think of companies like Lordstown and Rivian, or Nikola and Fisker, who’ve yet to revolutionize their segment.

Okay, I’ll bite. Results are going to fall into two categories:

The concept does read a little like a Toyota designer took a Mirai and RAV4 and combined them.

Yes, it does.

Yes, they did.

Why you think the beltline kick-up works well? Very curious.

Whoa. All I can see is Honda Civic, an old one:

You’re my hero. Bring back outward visibility!

Gotta kill outward visibility too!

Agreed.

Whoa. That’s great logic. Would you care to run for political office? Pretty please.

This.
